Going somewhere? Keep your mind at ease while traveling by leaving a paper trail behind. Bequeath your friends with photocopies of your passport, tickets, insurance details, and traveler’s checks. If your original documents get lost or stolen, you’ll be able to recover the necessary information with minimal disruption to your trip.

Transform your commute to work into relaxing time with yourself. Read, listen to music, or meditate if you’re not driving. (If you travel by public transport, leave home a tad early, so you are sure to find a seat on the bus or train.)
